    Large Loads Co-Located at Generating Facilities

    Constellation Energy Generation, LLC v. PJM (Consolidated) Interconnection, L.L.C.

     

    Between August 2, 2024, and October 25, 2024, FERC issued several notices that it would convene a series of commissioner-led technical conferences to discuss various issues related to the co-location of large loads at generating facilities.

     

    On November 22, 2024, Constellation Energy Generation, LLC (Constellation) submitted a complaint seeking a Commission ruling that PJM’s Open Access Transmission Tariff (OATT) is unjust, unreasonable, and unduly discriminatory because it does not contain rules for interconnected generators to follow when seeking to provide service to fully isolated co-located load. 

     

    On February 20, 2025, FERC issued an order finding that PJM's tariff appears to be unjust, unreasonable, unduly discriminatory, or preferential. FERC also instituted a show cause proceeding pursuant to section 206 of the FPA and directed PJM and transmission owners to: (1) show cause as to why PJM's tariff remains just and reasonable, and not unduly discriminatory or preferential without provisions addressing with sufficient clarity or consistency the rates, terms, and conditions of service that apply to co-locations arrangements; or (2) explain what changes to PJM's tariff would remedy identified concerns if FERC were to determine that PJM's tariff has in fact become unjust and unreasonable or unduly discriminatory or preferential, and proceeds to establish a replacement tariff. 

     

    Agenda item E-1 may be an order informed by the technical conferences pursuant to FERC's show cause order and/or on Constellation’s complaint.

    Idaho Power Company

     

    On October 31, 2023 (Docket Nos. ER10-2126-008 and EL24-62-000), and July 31, 2024 (Docket Nos. ER10-2126-009 and EL25-14-000), Idaho Power Company (Idaho Power) submitted notices of change in status to report cumulative net increases of Idaho Power's ownership or control with generation capacity or long-term firm purchases in the Idaho Power balancing authority area (BAA). On February 27 and December 5, 2024, the Commission issued an “Order on Updated Market Power Analysis and Notice of Change in Status, Instituting Section 206 Proceeding and Established Refund Effective Date” in the respective dockets following Idaho Power’s representation that it passed the pivotal supplier indicative screen but failed the wholesale market share indicative screen in three seasons in the Idaho Power BAA. Such failures established a rebuttable presumption of horizontal market power. Based on this finding, the Commission instituted a proceeding to determine whether Idaho Power may continue to charge market-based rates in the Idaho Power BAA and to establish a refund effective date for the protection of customers while the Commission evaluates Idaho Power’s delivered price test analysis. Idaho Power filed responses to Show Cause Order in both dockets showing cause as to why the Commission should not revoke Idaho Power’s market-based rate authority in Idaho Power’s BAA. 

     

    Agenda item E-6 may be an order on Idaho Power’s responses.
